How do you measure the Diamond SRH789 for optimal tuning? From the hinge or the bottom of the base?

I reviewed it here: http://forums.radioreference.com/sc...views/220845-diamond-s-rh-789-telescopic.html Measuring from the hinge seemed to jive the best with an swr-bridge, but as always, what the antenna is connected to (swr bridge, scanner, bnc magmount etc) can affect those readings. Use the hinge as a ballpark starting point.
